On a much nicer note, I am posting some pictures taken by Tim, Snowbird West's roadrunner-whisperer.
My body may have been hurting but I was in a great frame of mind, so I asked Dave if he would like to go with me to Wickenburg. I needed a couple of things and didn't want to go all the way to Buckeye, with its traffic. What a pleasant drive it was! My first time driving the truck with the camper mounted, and it was just like driving the truck alone. No problems whatsoever, and the side mirrors gave me a good view of the road behind me.
There was barely any sway, except maybe for a bit of uneven roadway. All in all I can say I love it! I got a surprise when I brought my groceries out to put into the fridge - after all my experience with a 5ver and packing for the drive, I completely forgot about securing anything. Surprisingly, there wasn't much movement - just in a few items - and nothing breakable. I think I left in too much of a hurry to think about giving the inside a check out. I am definitely going to be a happy camper!

You look right at home. The pictures are great! Congrats on winning such a great truck camper.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you are still hurting, but you look very comfortable in the driver's seat. Glad your first trip was a good one. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI am happy for you. The camper and you look like a great pair. Now if only your body feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteYou look right at home with your truck and camper. I am so glad it wasn't hard to drive. What fun you are going to have. I love the roadrunner pics. They are such neat birds but they move soooo fast. I'm sure hoping tomorrow you feel a lot better and not so sore.
ReplyDeleteLife would be about perfect without all the aches and pains! You could use one of those pics with the truck and camper for your header now. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking good, Gypsy! Hope you're feeling better soon!!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that the camper is working out so well. Looks like you picked a winner!
ReplyDeleteHi Happy Camper. *smiles for miles*
ReplyDeleteSo sorry the aches and pains are seem to be getting worse. Do hope things improve very soon.
Blessings
You & your new RV set up are looking mighty cozy together:)) Sooooo glad that has finally all come together for you. That is a big corner turned & you can now get on with your future travel plans. Maybe not as much room as your fiver but it's sure got to be a whole lot better than dragging a a great big trailer all over the place. I sure know what that is all about!! Good stuff Gypsy so let's get out there on those big open roads & boogey:))
ReplyDeleteAmen to all the above. You can be quite comfortable in that camper, you and your big old dog! Just watch your step as you climb over her!
ReplyDeleteIf your pain doesn't get markedly better soon, I would visit the doc again. Soft tissue injuries do not show on an x-ray. And sometimes breaks can hide, but will show up several days later on x-ray. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteYou look soooo happy in your new home. Take it slow and enjoy your trip.
ReplyDeleteThat truck and camper sure look good on you!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to read how much you are hurting...but be careful what you take if you are driving!!!! How much of a drive do you have to get back to Sacramento?
ReplyDeleteTruck camper looks great. You should use one of the photos of the truck and you in it
Check in tomorrow to see how you are doing.
Til later..
